Today I remembered there is but one truly serious question. I've grown resentful of all of this, I'm done pretending I like cake, done counting the days. Done searching for grains of zenith at the bottom of the barrel. I made it a long way for somebody with a short fuse anyway. Ran, then walked, then crawled. All for a roadside picnic? Make a wish they said. Any wish, they keep saying… Few of them even know what they wish for. My happiest days are probably behind me. A battlefield of fleeting fireworks spurs in front. Flickering lights are born - then gone before I can even think. In the distance a big boulder starts rolling on the hill. I remain undecided. This fragrance captures a moment of reflection, a complex blend of [gourmand](/style/gourmand) sweetness, [boozy](/style/boozy) warmth, and a touch of [smoky](/style/smoky) melancholy.

Last Birthday Cake starts with a surprising mix. You'll smell malt, sharp [bitter almond](/note/almond), and creamy [milk](/note/milk). There's also an unusual touch of cork and a cool hint of menthol. The heart is a rich [gourmand](/style/gourmand) treat. Think [brown sugar](/note/sugar), yummy [fruit loaf](/note/fruity-notes), cozy [tonka bean](/note/tonka-bean), and a splash of [Armagnac](/note/cognac). Soft [vanilla](/note/vanilla) makes it even better. The scent dries down to a warm, [resinous](/style/resinous) hug. You'll find [bran absolute](/note/cereal-notes), a [sensual skin accord](/note/animalic-musk), [Tolu balm](/note/tolu-balsam), and smoky [frankincense](/note/frankincense).
